Description
Panel description:"The GDPR introduced an innovative enforcement system for tackling cross-border data protection infringements by establishing mechanisms for cooperation between DPAs and the consistent application of the rules across the EU. Over two years since it became applicable, the GDPR now risks becoming a ‘’broken promise’’. The one-stop-shop enforcement mechanism is showing its shortcomings and enforcement against Big Tech is uncertain. The expectations that the GDPR would tackle systemic data protection infringements inherent to the widespread commercial surveillance in our digital world have not materialised. All this is having a negative impact on the protection of millions of consumers across Europe. We are at a turning point. It is necessary to close this enforcement gap before it is too late. It is also necessary to draw lessons from this experience and start shaping the ideal enforcement model for the future."
• What is creating the GDPR enforcement gap and how can we address it?
• What are the problems with the one-stop-shop mechanism and how can we address them?
• What should be the ideal model for enforcement to protect consumers in the digital world?
• What model would ensure desired balance between EU-level and national enforcement structures, bridging the gap between the quintessential territoriality of enforcement and the cross-border nature of digital services?
